## What is Daily. Chess Puzzle Play Learn?

A few chess puzzles a day, at your own pace.

Daily. Chess gives you a board and a puzzle picked for your level. No ads, no noise, no pressure — unless you want it.

CHOOSE YOUR PLAY STYLE
Zen: just the board and the puzzle. No rating, no clock, no streak.
Game: everything — rating, clock, XP, levels and achievements.
Kids: a cheerful board with a friendly cat full of tips, streaks and XP — no rating, no puzzle clock. Parents can set a daily time limit.
Your progress is always tracked quietly in the background, so you can switch any time.

LEARN THE IDEA
Every puzzle names its tactic — fork, pin, back-rank mate and dozens more — with one clear sentence on how it works.

DAILY SET
Ten personal puzzles a day, from real games, tuned to your level and to the themes you find hardest.

PUZZLE CHALLENGE OF THE DAY
One hard puzzle, well above your level. No clock — take all the time you need.

SURVIVAL
Puzzles get harder one after another. Three mistakes and you are out.

TRAINING
Pick a theme and practise it in short rounds of five.

PUZZLE RACE
Solve as many puzzles as you can in 1, 2 or 3 minutes and beat your best.

PLAY THE COMPUTER
Play a full game against the built-in engine at your level, with hints and take-backs. Or play Chess960 (Fischer Random) from a random or chosen start, with its own Elo; with friends from a random start.

PLAY PEOPLE
Over Game Center, with a friend or a random opponent:
• Live game: real-time chess with a clock — bullet, blitz or rapid, from 1+0 to 15+10, with a rematch afterwards.
• Correspondence: 1 to 14 days per move, with a reminder before your time runs out.
• Puzzle duel: the same 10 puzzles for both of you; most solved wins.
Over the board: a chess clock with presets or your own times.

LEARN
Step-by-step lessons on the pieces, the rules, tactics and openings, plus 21 endgame lessons from the basic mates to the Lucena and Vancura positions, and fun games like Knight's path and Pawn Wars. A searchable glossary explains 80 chess terms. The opening book holds every ECO opening, and you can play your own moves in it. What you learned comes back now and then, so it sticks.

MASTER GAMES
Replay famous games from Morphy to Fischer, told as a story, at your own pace.

ANALYSE YOUR GAMES
Import a game (PGN) or a position (FEN), set up a position on the board editor or enter a game move by move, and analyse it with the built-in engine, right on your device: up to five lines as arrows on the board and the opening by name. Game review rates every move from brilliant to blunder, with an evaluation graph and the accuracy of both sides. Every game you finish lands in the Game archive and every import is kept; Edit moves changes any kept game and reviews it again.

TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
Puzzle rating and Challenge rating with charts, streaks, levels, XP and achievements. Browse the puzzle archive by month with filters, replay any day, and train any theme from its page.

MADE TO FEEL GOOD
Several piece sets and board themes, flip the board on any screen, six sound themes, light and dark appearance, home-screen widgets, a Live Activity when it's your move, a gentle daily reminder and an optional evening nudge when your streak is at stake, VoiceOver support, and iCloud sync across iPhone and iPad.

PRO
Try everything free for 7 days. After that, the first 5 puzzles of every day stay free, in every play style, and so do Learn, playing the computer, one live game a day, one correspondence game at a time and friend challenges. Daily. Chess Pro unlocks the full daily set, the Puzzle Challenge of the Day, Survival, Puzzle Race, Training, unlimited live and correspondence games, master games, the opening book, the puzzle archive and analysis — monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase.

Puzzles come from the Lichess puzzle database (CC0).

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.54.0 — 2026-11-03

• Practise your mistakes: after Game review, replay up to three of your own mistakes and blunders. Find a better move first; the engine shows its answer only after your try.
• New Analysis tab: your last game on top, ready for Game review; then a new analysis (paste PGN or FEN, open a PGN file, set up a position or enter moves); then the Game archive, now with your imported games too, the Puzzle archive and your Puzzle duels. The tabs now run Learn · Puzzles · Play · Analysis · Progress.
• Share or copy a game as PGN right from the analysis board. In Game review the graph now marks best moves too, and the same game gets the same review every time.
• Chess clock: on the Play tab, for a game over the board. Presets from 1+0 to 90+30, or your own time per player with Fischer increment or Bronstein delay. Free, in every play style.
• Correspondence reminder: 24 and 12 hours before your time for a move runs out, a notification tells you which opponent is waiting, in every play style. Switch it off in Settings › Notifications.
• Settings › Account & Sync › Delete iCloud copy removes your progress and Game archive from iCloud; everything stays on this device.
• Safer and more reliable: a banner with Try again when progress can't be saved, every move from the other player's app is checked, and your correspondence time runs from when Game Center received the move.
• Snappier everywhere: pieces follow your finger without lag, analysis runs smoothly, and Learn opens without a pause.
• Game review has a new look: move labels with the classic symbols in fresh colours, the best move marked with a tick, a brilliant move framed in violet, and the evaluation graph in the board's colours.
• Master games now come with new notes of our own in every language, with fewer and shorter side lines.
• Lessons: the Correct! card fades after a moment so you see the position, and Next sits under the board.
• Your Chess960 Elo stays on Play › Vs computer even with Chess960 off, and its stats show your best start positions. A finished correspondence game leaves the list by itself a week after it ends, safely in your Game archive.
• Game review: the graph marks where the opening, middlegame and endgame start, and under the total you see each player's accuracy per phase.
• The app opens faster and smoother.
• Correspondence games open as a page with Back instead of a sheet, and after you confirm a move that doesn't end the game, the next game waiting on you opens right away: the one with the least time left.
• Look back at every puzzle of a Puzzle duel: see it again with hint, solution and analysis, and try it once more.
• Threats on the analysis board: switch them on to see your pieces in danger in red, with an arrow for the biggest threat, and the pieces you can win in green.
• Dragging a piece now lifts it well above your finger, larger and easy to see, with the square it lands on marked.
• When a game ends, the result appears right on the board, with a little celebration when you win, just like a solved puzzle.
• Step back and forth through a correspondence game with previous and next move buttons, then return to the current position to play your move.
• Analysis shows the captured pieces and the material lead, just like in a game, and they update with every move you step through or try.
• Tap a stat on Puzzles to open it: your streak, rating and Challenge rating lead straight to their stats, and the rating charts now draw a smooth line.
• See when it's your move: a Live Activity on the Lock Screen and in the Dynamic Island shows the online game or Puzzle duel waiting on you, with a tiny board and your opponent's last move.
• Long explanations in lessons and master games open whole in large type with one tap.
• Correspondence games now give you White or Black at random; in Pawn Wars, a queen that can be taken right away no longer wins.

### 2.50.0 — 2026-10-31

• Long explanations in lessons and master games open whole in large type with one tap.
• Correspondence games now give you White or Black at random; in Pawn Wars, a queen that can be taken right away no longer wins.
• Tap a rating on Play or after a game for its stats: Elo over time, wins, draws and losses as White and Black, and your best openings.
• Your streak now counts any move you make, in every mode.
• Finished the daily set? Its board spot now hands you the Puzzle Challenge of the Day, then Training.
• Onboarding asks "Can you play chess?", explains the Unlock with XP switch (Game now starts with everything open) and shows you can play friends.
• The phone locks again when you leave a puzzle alone; tips stand out more, and black pieces read better on the dark blue board.
